May the Lord Jesus bless you in the loss of your Mom. We have many fond memories of you folk. They are some of the first people we met when we moved to Tucson in 1971. Clara was a dear lady. We will meet her again in Heaven.

When we lose a loved one here on earth, we gain an angel in heaven that watches over us. May you take comfort in knowing that you have an angel to watch over you now. I extend my most sincere condolences to you and your families.

I am saddened to read about Clara's passing. She was such a very nice lady.

We first met her when mother (Frieda Dansberger) was at Aslan's 3 years ago. Then, mother and I rented a house together for a year and when mother needed to go to Assisted Living, she returned to Aslan's with Gursen.

It was so nice to see Clara again, a familiar face and seemed like seeing an old friend. I would sit with mother during dinner and Clara and I had many conversations.

She got such a kick out of my new dog Sandals and I took several pictures of her & Sandals.

It will not be the same when we visit Aslan's again and not seeing Clara.

My condolences to Clara's whole family.
Sincerely,
Amyda Heitkamp (Frieda's daughter)

Clara lived with our mother Frieda Dansberger as well as my mother-in-law Elaine Reichardt at Aslan's.

When I wrote to Amyda (my sister) and said Clara had passed away, she said ..... "I was just thinking about her last night."

Clara was such a delightful person to visit with and she ALWAYS greeted us with a big smile every time we walked through the front door. When Amyda & I saw her several months ago, she was still sharp as a tack. Clara lived a long life and it seemed to be a long life in good health.

Amyda may wish to write her own entry but I know I speak for her too in extending our heartfelt sympathy to Clara's family.
